Turn-based tactical RPGs is a genre that attracts fervent followers. To the more casual toe-dippers like me, you could compare Fell Seal: Arbiter’s Mark to something like X-Com (though that’s a tenuous comparison I realise) in that the turn-based battles mean that you don’t need reflexes, but more a chess-brain, always thinking a few turns ahead.

For us at Kingdom of Carts HQ, Manchester is a great Expo to get to, it’s a straight three hour train from Cardiff and a brief walk from the station to the event and surrounding hotels, this is a mere sojourn when compared to the multiple train changes and hanging about required when getting to Blackpool, although that doesn’t slow us down. I wear flares…not skirts.

🎢 "Planet Coaster is a game I have been meaning to play for years now and thankfully now I have played it I'm fully on board with this theme park sim that takes me back to the wonder of 1994 but overlays this intricate and rewarding gameplay loop." 🎡

Since more or less the dawn of the era of electronic gaming, console gamers and desktop gamers have been at each as others throats – sometimes clearly playfully and sarcastically, and sometimes maybe not so much.

I remember my time with VBlank’s previous title, Retro City Rampage very vividly. I was hips deep in how fast-paced the story was, the fun factor of the driving and shooting mechanics as well as enjoying the pop culture references (before they became extremely tiresome and over-used in games in general).

As retro City Rampage was a title with a very solid 8-bit aesthetic, I remember thinking at the time that a sequel set in a 16-bit world would be cool…and it is.

🏌"World Class Leaderboard is the oldest swinger in town! This game brings back the memories of how tough retro golf games actually are. Can anyone tell me the yardage on a 7 iron out of the rough of the first hole at St Andrew's?" ⛳

Having been to Paris on several occasions (possible Faye’s favourite place in the world) and drunk deep from the well of gaming there, we decided it was time for a change and planned a trip to Cologne and Berlin over the space of a week.Yes, the country is historically and culturally rich, almost every street corner has a story behind it and you could get lost for days, constantly learning more and more about this hub of Europe….but will I find a copy of Arx Fatalis on the Xbox for a fistful of Euros?

The genre of arcade racing has long been one of my favourites, from the days of Super Sprint to the Amiga PD gem High Octane, the isometric fun of Super Off-Road, the inevitable Micro Machines and not forgetting PS2 classic Mashed (and under-appreciated pseudo-sequel Wrecked) the genre is a staple of gaming days at mine for literally decades. Table Top Racing is a neat spin on the genre by bringing in a Mario Kart sensibility to the miniaturised racing theme, the game, however, has a history stretching back to 2013 that does cast a shadow on the current Switch release.

There is nothing like completely immersing yourself in a totally different world the way you can do in an RPG or role-playing game. In fact, this genre is one of the most popular and long-lasting of all types of game, even if aficionados are thought of as somewhat nerdy. Slurs be damned though because just about everyone can have fun in an RPG, and to prove it we've listed some of the best choices across different platforms below.

It's that time of year when your mind begins to stray to Car Boot sales and the dream of bagging that ultimate car boot sale deal.I've never had much luck with Car Boot bargains but that's probably because I'm not getting there early enough to loot those car boots in time!This year I have vowed to get there nice and early and to go pre-armed with a nice little cheat sheet to ensure I know the rough going rate for each console I'm likely to come across.
